Kits Reveiw : Fujimi 1:24 Lamborghini Countach 5000S (Monaco GP'82)

[peter i]

I just bought this kit todays , and Like to share some detail with all expert or beginner builder out there .

From the box show that this is a safety car use on 1982 Monaco GP, magazine on the left is a "Car & Driver" additional books (Classic)


Front panel & cockpit set...


This is the catalog come with it.. (not free ?)


The whole body and tire set (you can choose to build a " LP400 " or others model :the "s" Spoiler & side spoiler is a optional parts...


Ok, here come the famous "lambo Door" & panel set..


Now the "signature" add on parts ..(Some owner do remove the wing to keep the back looks "cleaner")


The "Clear" plastic ...


Chassis parts, Wait a minute! where is the engine ? (Shit...)


This kit are very fine and originally import from Japan, And best for making all type of Countach with this kit, But this Kit do not included Engine!

PROS:
Best for Modification.
You Can choose which model to build.
Nice package & Trusted quality product.

CONS:
No Engine Display!
Expensive to build need more additional paint or highlight parts!
The roof kits looks like a "china made" toys!!

Cool. Too bad it doesn't come with an engine though! I want to build a twin-turbo Countach like the "SV" on your homepage. I can't even imagine the awesome noise that thing makes!

Standard kit. . . builds up nicely though without as much hassle as the EM series . . .

Thanks for the peek. . .

If you wanted the engine so badly, you should have bought one of the Enthusiast Series Countach kits, instead. Fujimi actually bought a real 5000QV for reference, so those kits are very well-detailed, albeit harder to put together.

On the other hand, the theme of the Real Sports product line is affordability and a wide range of variation, which means none of the Real Sports kits has an engine, except for a very few exceptions.

In any case, good luck with your Countach kit. Most parts are straight from the EM kits, and they require careful test-fitting, but the kit can be built into a nice replica.
